Note: This exceptional and very rare timepiece has a highly unusual
combination of complications. The time train and repeating element
are of superior quality. This is combined with a sophisticated
rattrapante chronograph without return to zero that Louis Audemars
perfected along with the quarter second jump complication. The
rattrapante chronograph mechanism is fitted beneath the dial. The
gold slide bar for the repeat has a small depression in the middle
that was a classic Louis Audemars feature.
